Entomologists are biological scientists who study insects. Entomologists studying tree
crickets have found that they chirp at different rates depending on the temperature.
The number of chirps per minute, C, that the tree cricket makes is linearly dependent on
the temperature, T, in Fahrenheit. The crickets do not chirp at all below 45 degrees and
at 85 degrees they chirp about 144 times per minute.
A) Express the number of chirps, C, as a function of the temperature, T. Be sure to use
function notation.
B) How many chirps per minute will crickets make at 100 degrees?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Entomologists are biological scientists who study insects. Entomologists studying tree  crickets have found that they chirp at different rates depending on the temperature.

At 45 degrees chirp is 0 and at 85 degrees chirp is 144 times

If we fix temperature on x axis and no of chirps on y axis we have two points as

(45,0) and (85,144)

Since linear relationship is given, we use two point formula

is the linear relation

Or , for T≥45

B) when T = 100, we have

C =

i am thinking c. sorry if im wrong .
